Hey all, this is my first post on the forum so be nice
My brother and I had heard about ecigs (the generic product not the company) and so we went to the mall to check it out. Both of us were pretty fed up with smoking and all the "benefits" that come with it so we were the perfect targets.
The Smokingeverywhere.com salesman was good, and after computing how long carts were supposed to last (15-20 cigs the salesman says. HA!) we figured that even with the 129.99 we paid for the Gold kit that had 2 batts, 1 atomizer and 5 carts, we would make our money back in about 2 months. So bought we did. We also each bought 2 extra packs of carts which had 5 carts each for $10, and yes, we even bought the $20 case. What a couple of idiots we were. Of course now I know that I could have spent half of the $160 it ended up being and probably gotten a better product.
So on with the review. We charged our batteries and excitedly "lit up". Keep in mind I have not used any other ecigs so I cannot compare, but I have watched many vids on many different ecigs. Vapor production was pretty decent, especially on a new cart. Throat hit was good, good enough to make me cough if I pulled hard enough. Thing is, we quickly became disappointed with how long the carts lasted. Seemed like about 3-5 analog cigs worth of real good vapor. After that maybe 5 more of increasingly less vapor. Battery life seemed pretty good, but much less than the whole day promised by our salesman. Lasted 3-6 hours depending on how much we were vaping. Also I should mention that both of us had one battery each that would not respond well to dragging. We had to pull really hard to get the led to light, and atomizer to work. This issue actually worked itself out in a couple days.
Overall the product actually seems pretty decent to me, but as I have no others (yet) to compare them to, I cant speak for comparisons. We have had them for about 2.5 weeks and all 4 of our batteries and both atomizers seem to be in tip-top shape. We pretty quickly found out about eliquid, and ordered from Johnson Creek, which has proven pretty dang good. Filling carts has not been a problem, each one has a small plastic "cup" in the bottom of the cart, you can drip right into the cup while its still in the cart, or remove it for a better fill. Both work well. Tried dripping onto the atomizer once, but I don't think I had the technique down and it didnt work well.
Now please don't think this is a glowing review of smokingeverywhere or that I represent them in any way. I am very, very unhappy with how the product was represented and how much it cost. But really, thats my fault for buying it. I am normally a very savvy shopper and do my research before I spend even $100 but we were oh so excited about the prospect, and this is how they get you.
Bottom line, pretty fair product for me and my brother but wayyyyyyy too expensive, and our expectations were too high from a slippery salesman. Oh well, live and learn. We are only smoking a few analogs a day each, which is by itself worth the money. Forgive my long-windedness, but I hope this helps some who are questioning whether or not to buy from smokingeverywhere. I say no, do your research and get a better product for less money. Happy vaping!!!
